These oven-fried avocado tacos with cilantro-lime creme are my take on Mas Tacos Por Favor in Nashville, TN. Serve with a side of elote!

During one of my most recent visits to Nashville, I went to a taco stand called Mas Tacos Por Favor and had the best fried avocado tacos. I enjoyed them so much that I had to figure out how to make them at home, or else I would have driven 3 hours from Memphis just to get some more (5.5 hours now that I live in Columbus, OH).
Oven-frying is my favorite way to cook chicken, so I decided to incorporate this method for the avocado and it worked beautifully. I couldn’t remember exactly what else was on the taco, but I improvised based on what I could remember or see in the picture I took with my phone and it came out pretty darn close. You can tinker with the amount of lime or sriracha in the creme to your preferred taste and heat level.
These tacos are also great served with a healthier version of elote (Mexican corn)!

[…] without elote, especially when paired with tacos. Since I had already made the tacos healthier by oven-frying the avocados I decided I needed to do the same with the corn. All I did was swap out the mayo for Greek yogurt, […]
